If we were to flash back to the 1960s and a more conservative America these religious fanatics on the right would be the ones repulsed by the Beatles style and Elvis shaking his hips. Today, instead of Elvis and John Lennon being sinful, it's Harry Potter and Twilight being painted as witchcraft.

How is it that Republicans are out there banning books like Harry Potter and Maus and talking about banning sex education in schools and Democrats aren't screaming about this? We should literally be screaming about it like they do with CRT. It is unbelievable to me that in 2022 a candidate for Governor in one of the biggest states of the union is having a discussion about banning sex ed. Have we gone back to 1960 or something? Just incredulous!

Serious questions. Did you renew because you have faith in the new regime or because it's just a force of habit at this point as a fan? Would you have renewed last season if they had kept Quinn and Patricia for another season? If Campbell and Co. don't dramatically improve this next season (we'll say north of 6-7 wins) would you still renew next year?

Shri is currently a State Representative in Detroit and is running for Congress this year. There are a whole host of Detroit candidates running for the new 13th District that represents Detroit, parts of Downriver and parts of Warren. Shri among them.

Perry Johnson, Republican for Governor, ran a Super Bowl ad. He calls himself a "Quality Guru" which is supposed to be a takeoff or knockoff on Rick Snyder calling himself "One Tough Nerd". Snyder was a terrible Governor with a great campaign slogan. I legit think "One Tough Nerd" was a great slogan and effective messaging. Hell, I voted for Snyder in 2010, sad to admit. What Snyder, Johnson, Rinkie, and all these other Republicans don't understand at a fundamental level is you can't run government like a business and expect it to do its job taking care of people. This was Perry Johnson's Super Bowl ad . . .

MAGA Preacher Greg Locke of Tennessee Burns Harry Potter and Twilight Books, Says They're Witchcraft Some of us keep getting told that we are being hyperbolic and need to calm down when it comes to the Republicans, MAGA movement and their beliefs about what America should look like. This is what a full on, Republican, MAGA America would look like. Burning books and banning books and we're supposed to cool it? It starts with books and cascades down from there if these zealots are left unchecked and given full control over the country. And if Kevin McCarthy and the radically religious, fanatical, autocratic right get back into power in 2022 and 2024 you can be sure more of this will happen. This is the America people like McCarthy, MTG, Loren Bobert, etc. envision.

Republican America folks. Kandiss Taylor, candidate for Governor in Georgia, says that sex education has no place being taught in our schools. When the Duggar Family and the religious right run not only the GOP but America, don't say we didn't try to warn you. Cancel culture strikes again! https://kandisstaylor.com/

If you are looking for an excellent, informative, factual rebuttal to all the misinformation out there and all the Google MDs I highly suggest taking a look at the YouTube page of Dr. Dan Wilson. Dr. Wilson is a Molecular Biologist and does a great job going point by point with science to debunk Covid 19 and vaccine myths.

I went there with my dad and uncle back in 2004 for the Ryder Cup. Such a cool experience to see the course, club house, and Ryder Cup in person. A shame to see the club house burning to the point of no return and irrecoverable damage.

There doesn't appear to be a front runner between Craig, Dixon, Rinke, and now Perry Johnson. I feel like Craig is probably their strongest candidate in the bunch. I'd like to think Rinke dropping the n-bomb, the c*** word, and other harassing statements made towards coworkers and customers would disqualify him from being the nominee and Governor, but we all know that won't be the case. This is America, land of the free, home of no accountability.

West MI Politics: Republican Gubernatorial candidate Kevin Rinke hit with multiple sexual and racial harassment lawsuits and created toxic work environment. Freep: Past Lawsuits Hang Over Kevin Rinke People of all walks of life, of all backgrounds, of all affiliations, Republicans and Democrats and Greens and Libertarians, men and women, are pieces of shit. The difference is, when you discover someone is a piece of shit, are you willing to call it out or not. Are you will to stand up and rebuff that toxic behavior. Are you willing to defend and help the victim of that behavior. Will you work to prevent that behavior. Kevin Rinke is a piece of shit, it would seem. Kevin Rinke created a toxic work environment that was rife with harassment, racism, sexism and toxic masculinity. Hopefully he does not end up the Republican nominee and his base rebukes him. We know that isn't happening. So hopefully he doesn't end up Governor.

The party of LAW AND ORDER!

True, it has and we've gotten our hopes up before. But now, we're getting to the Arthur Anderson part of the Enron investigation where the real meat and potatoes of fraud may come to light.

This story about his accounting firm not only disavowing the last decade's worth of financial records but straight up cutting ties feels like a turning point day in the investigation by the New York's AG's office.

I grew up listening to Frank Beckman call UofM football games. I was too young for Bob Ufer as he died before my time, so for me it was always Frank Beckman on the radio. I really enjoyed Frank as a play-by-play guy for Michigan and the Tigers. Sad to see he had just retired and barely got to enjoy a minute of it. 72 years old and just into retirement, such a shame to have happen. RIP Frank Beckman!

I think that the comments about Ben Johnson are great, until or unless he gets Lionized. I don't know that Zac Taylor is familiar with the process of Lionization, so I'll forgive him. Seriously, that's great praise to get from the Super Bowl runner-up coach in Taylor. I hope we got a good one here with Ben Johnson as our OC.

I'll just say it, congratulations Matt Stafford on winning a Super Bowl. A well deserved and earned honor, but I'll be the first to say I never thought you'd be able to deliver.

Zac Taylor with a really terrible play call there on 3rd and 1.

Refs blew it there with the no call on offensive pass interference.

ACL injury for Beckham?

GIGANTIC coaching blunder by Zac Taylor going for it on 4th and 1. That was just coaching stupidity to go for it when you're on the 50 yard line that early in the game.

I think Stafford and the Rams win tonight.

It'd be nice to see Kamara get held to account and never play football again, assuming he is guilty of this attack. Somehow, I think he might skate on jail time to assault and be back playing for the Saints or someone else in the NFL after a brief suspension.

Jim Brandstatter just announced that Frank Beckman passed away.
